The 2015 Mitsubishi Triton/L200 was showcased as the main attraction at the recent Thai Motor Expo 2014 and it will be built exclusively in Thailand. The Japanese manufacturer also disclosed that in time, the compact pickup is going to be sold in roughly 150 countries worldwide.
The Outlander SUV-inspired steering wheel and climate control unit, as well as the clean and minimalistic interior design makes the Triton a nice place to spend time in. If we’re to single out a potential drawback, that is the middle rear seat, which sits higher than the other two and is further compromised by the transmission tunnel.
Available in either rear-wheel or AWD guise, the 2015 Mitsubishi Triton/L200 can be had with a choice of four powerplants. Two 2.4L units are available: petrol with 128PS and 194Nm and a turbo diesel with 181PS and 430Nm of torque.
There is also a 2.5liter diesel. The first develops 128PS and 240Nm, while the uprated variant boasts with 178PS and 400Nm of torque. Depending on the engine choice, Mitsubishi offers the new Triton/L200 with a 5 or 6-speed manual, as well as a 5-speed automatic transmission for effortless shifting.
